Important Information About Parking and Fines in Bratislava

In regulated parking zones, vehicles must be parked only in designated spaces and with valid authorization—either with a parking permit or after paying for hourly parking. Incorrect parking may result in a warning or a fine.

Yellow and Orange Ticket – What’s the Difference?

  • A yellow ticket is only a warning about incorrect parking. No fine will be issued. These notices are commonly used when a new parking zone is introduced to help drivers adapt to the new regulations.

  • An orange ticket means that your parking violation will be further reviewed. If the violation is confirmed, a fine will be sent to you by mail with a detailed explanation of the infraction.

How Is a Violation Verified?

  1. Inspectors in the field record the parking violation.

  2. The authorities perform a secondary review to confirm the violation.

  3. If the violation is validated, a fine is sent by mail along with documentation.

When Can a Vehicle Be Towed?

  • If it obstructs traffic, blocks a sidewalk, or a pedestrian crossing.

  • In cases of repeated violations of parking rules.

What to Do If You Receive a Fine?

  • Fines are issued by the Bratislava Municipal Police, and payment can be made according to the details provided on the fine notice.

  • If you disagree with the fine, you can file an appeal—proof may include payment confirmation or records from a parking app.
